New areas have also been created – the "ocean acidification" area shows the effect of massive absorption by the seas of carbon dioxide produced by human activity; the "news" area, equipped with screens, informs visitors about the "residents" of the Museum and the Mediterranean Sea.

There's also a new "games" area for children, where they can learn through play, and a "commitment area," where visitors who would like to do so can make known their wish to protect the Mediterranean in their own way.
